I'm doing 15 things
Wow. Why did I put this off? Got my 500G external hard drive (FAT for now) last week, moved my data over, downloaded Feisty Fawn image, tested it, ran it. KabAAM! Bye Windows!! Oh wait, hello again. As soon as I installed Ubuntu, with no hitches (wireless was already working and my external hard drive, USB and smart card reader were all working) I installed VirtualBox, put XP on it so I could install Adobe CS. I wish there was a way around this. ALAS! Anyway, it works good so who cares?

Already set up an Ubuntu LAMP. Why the resistance? Inertia I suppose. One thought on this whole personal challenge thing…it would be nice to also offer yourself a reward for succeeding – I’ve found I respond much better to encouragement than to punishment…I guess I’m more like a cat than a puppy. Also, a link to how to break a project down into an actionable plan. Personally I already GTD but it would help a lot of folks.
Anyway, off to order external hard-drive…backing up my goodies has been the real hangup.
I’ve been so busy doing my job (web development) and have only had a little time to work with SQL, which I still love. Now I’m concentrating on moving our systems over to Linux so I can use Plone and MediaWiki and since I plan on staying here for a while I decided it would behoove me to take the Ruby course instead as I know enough SQL to get by, it comes way more easily to me than programming. Ack.
